I know how that goes. I still can't pick up Jade's harness. I moved it one day after taking her out for a walk. I couldn't touch it when she was around, or she thought she was going, so one day, after taking her for an exhausting walk, I gritted my teeth, took it from the hook by the door and put it on a shelf on the entertainment center. I haven't touched it since. If my hand even brushes it, I cry. So much to let go of but still manage to keep so close to my heart. It is so hard to find that balance, and I haven't gotten there yet. I hope you're ok at class today. I still look for Jade if I'm not careful. I'll have been without a dog for almost 4 months by the time we get into class, but I just can't except that she is gone. I need a dog beside me. I need a dog very soon.

hugs. hang in. I know you've been here before, but that doesn't make it any easier.

Well, I don't usually listen to voice posts because of time and studying and all of that, but I did hear this one, and I'm so sorry it happened this way. Hugs to you.
